Korn Ferry: Cheap Valuation And Potential Growth
Korn Ferry is undervalued, with a DCF-derived intrinsic value of $123 per share, representing a significant upside from current levels. Strong fundamentals, stable EBITDA margins, and diversified revenue streams support my buy rating, bolstered by successful M&A activity. Recent acquisitions, like Salo and Trilogy International, expand industry reach and enhance service offerings, fueling long-term growth.

Korn Ferry: Promising Green Shoots Are Not Enough To Justify A Buy Rating
I rate Korn Ferry as Hold, given early recovery signs but insufficient strength for a bullish stance amid persistent macro headwinds. The Executive Search and RPO segments show strong momentum, with new business growth and a $1.7B backlog supporting near-term revenue visibility. Macroeconomic challenges and segment-specific softness, particularly in Consulting and Professional Search, continue to weigh on the overall growth outlook.

Korn Ferry Q4 Earnings: Royal Precision Drives Antifragile Growth
Korn Ferry stock adopts the archetype of royal capital preservation through antifragile moderate growth and a good dividend yield. However, it operates amid cyclicality. I expect a modest 5–6% annual return for KFY shares over the next 12 months, which offsets inflation, offering stable, and moderate real returns. Even though I consider KFY stock a wealth preservation investment that's good for family office structures, it still needs to be monitored regularly due to sensitivity to macroeconomic disruption factors.
